I was released for the same reason you thought I would be sentenced. I deal with some people in the world who call themselves leaders, and some of these people are the enemies of your enemies. The biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the president of the United States, who sells more in a day than I do in a year. Sometimes it's embarrassing to find his fingerprints on a gun, and sometimes he needs freelancers like me to support the military that he can't possibly support. So, you call me the devil. But unfortunately for you, I am a demon that must exist.
Speaking of, he is a demon.
(1) Demon · Necessary
Unfortunately, for you, I am a demon that must exist.
In front of the diamond that terrorists use as a bargaining chip, he has no choice. If he takes it, He'll lose it. If you don't take it, He'll lost, too. This is his life, keep doing it, He'll lost. Don't do it, He'll lost, too.
No choice.
The pain caused by his brother's death in his heart is incalculable, but he can still remain calm, continue trading, and think slowly. He stood on the top of the Lion Hill and looked at the village that was going to be wiped out by the arms in his hands tomorrow, indifferent. For him, this was not our war. I believe he is afraid of Andre and his son, but he is very aware of his value in their hearts, so he can deal with them calmly. He didn't want to kill people, but too many people died because of him. He doesn't want to lose, but no one can stay in his life.
He is a demon, and he has cold, evil blood. He has supreme rights, but does not care about the happiness and well-being of the world.
For him, weapons, like refrigerators and televisions, are just human toys and tools to make money.
His presence is needed in the game of politics.
(2) Personality and conscience
You know who will inherit the earth - the arms dealer, because everyone else is busy killing each other. The secret to survival is to never join a war, especially yourself.
However, he never stopped pursuing a happy life. The purpose of his entry into the industry is simple and direct - money. In the process of chasing money, he found his most suitable career, and selling arms is only the most profitable career for him.
I believe he must have been struggling with a burst of emotion when he saw his opponent die under the gun for many years. His reasons for his weapons, those wars that have nothing to do with him, have gradually shaken. A weapon can kill, whether it's legal or not, it's wrong. His wife's eyes were firm and painful.
He loves his family, his wife, his children. He worked hard to create opportunities to get the reassurance of the beauties, and built his own luxurious small family. He gives them the best. He takes care of his unmotivated younger brother. He had a happy and complete life. He cherished them so much and took good care of them.
However, he still has to lose in the end.
The younger brother collapsed when he saw a group of terrorists beating a mother and daughter. Tens of thousands of bullets penetrated his chest just because he wanted to prevent those weapons from becoming the murder weapon to wipe out the village at the foot of the mountain.
The wife was desperate the moment she saw his secret studio, she saw what a beautiful lie he had spun for her, and from the beginning, it was a story that was doomed to leave her sober.
Playing with fire and setting himself on fire, he received the heaviest punishment.
Even acquitted.
It is also an endless abyss.
(3) Thinking · Despair
The biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the president of the United States. He sells more in a day than I sell in a year.
The world's arms dealers are still in the ascendant, but the largest arms dealers are the United States, Russia, Britain and France, the five permanent members of the United Nations.
This is not a new topic. Those who advocate peace all day long are those who launch and manipulate wars. Complex political entanglements involve naked money and interests.
There are so many legitimate reasons for selling arms. Car sellers won't really tell you that the car is dangerous. At most, cigarette sellers will indicate that they are harmful to health on the packaging box. But far more people die each year from car crashes and nicotine than from guns. Anything is inseparable from the driving force of power and money. Nicotine or bullets, sometimes it doesn't make much difference.
The ugliness of human beings is exposed in the face of power and money.
What is lost?
The blood-stained white tent under the unjustified terrorist attack? Is it the land where there is no hope like hell? Is it to gently ask your innocent child that the broken arm will be born again? Are those eyes that are forever empty and ignorant?
Weapons bring war, war brings chaos, chaos makes people unable to live and work in peace, and creates a vicious circle of poverty, ignorance, cruelty, disease, and indulgence.
Going back to the source, is it all the fault of the arms?
Without weapons, we wouldn't kill each other? don't they hate each other? will be peaceful? will be happy?
Questions like this are frustrating.
Fortunately, in this world, there are still places where people live and work in peace and contentment. Fortunately, I live in a country that seems to be peaceful and safe.
I can't change anything, I can only secretly rejoice in my happiness.
